5. Fire-fighting measures 5.1
Extinguishing Media: Provide fire-extinguishing equipment at both storage and installation sites: Suitable media – Waterspray (fog) Foam, CO2 and Dry powder
5.2
Hazardous Combustion Products: It is prudent to take precautions against ignition, fire spread and smoke hazard. In fire situations beware of low visibility due to soot and avoid smoke inhalation. Smoke contains carbon monoxide and other gases which may be harmful to health if inhaled. If smoke or fumes are inhaled immediately seek fresh air and medical assistance
5.3
Protection of Fire-fighters: Fire fighters should use self contained breathing apparatus and saturate burning foam with water from a spray nozzle
6. Accidental release measures 6.1
Not applicable
7. Handling and storage 7.1
Handling: Store in original packing in a location free from any ignition hazard, such as open flames, cutting and welding torches, high surface temperature electric heaters and other forms of direct radiant heat.
7.2
Storage: Keep product protected from the elements and do not stack more than 2.5 metres in height. Ensure stability of stack and provide adequate aisle space for access between stacks.
8. Exposure controls/personal protection 8.1
Inhalation: Dust is not normally a hazard unless mechanical cutting is used. Where dust is generated in confined spaces it is recommended that extraction be used. As with all cutting procedures it is recommended that eye protection and disposable dust mask complying with EN 149 FFP1 or FFP2 be worn. It is recommended when non-mechanical cutting is carried out that the product is cut with a trimming knife to minimise the generation of dust. Man made mineral fibres are not classified under CHIP as hazardous, but are listed in the COSHH regulations with a maximum exposure limit of 5 mg/m3.
8.2
Hands: It is recommended that gloves be worn when handling the product.

13. Disposal considerations 13.1
Waste insulation is non-hazardous and should be disposed of regularly in a designated location without grinding or powdering in accordance with the requirements of Local Authorities and the Environmental Protection Act 1991. Any polyurethane product dust created in the installation process is regarded as nuisance dust because of its inert nature. It is important that the accumulation of waste insulation is avoided to prevent wind dispersal. Ensure polythene wrapping/packing is kept away from children. Observe usual safety precautions with polythene bags.
14. Transport information 14.1
Read this section in conjunction with section 7. Ensure security of load and where necessary sheeting/roping should be used. It is recommended that mechanical lifting equipment is provided and used when moving bulk quantities of product in order to avoid serious physical injury.
15. Regulatory information 15.1
None Applicable
16. Other information 16.1
